[@Qamar_Luna]

Hi elise, I have learned a lot from Ur videos! I ordered Now olivem 1000 as an emulsifying wax so can I use it without adding cetearyl alcohol? Thx in advance 💕

[@adjpadj7933]

Heey Elise, I would really like to know what type of camera/audio you use? Would be a great help! Thank you for your recipes and videos - they are beautiful!

[@darrenro2]

Could you please post the link to the formula calculator as i'm having trouble finding ht page.

[@nanaamadansoa4470]

Hello. Please make a video shoeing how to thicken black soap without xanthan gum or guar gum 😊

[@nancygibson126]

You’re amazing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m allergic to coconut and my skin really needed you.

[@bamidelemoyosore6625]

You really melt my heart as you are so generous in sharing your knowledge. I will say you are the only KZbinr that truly does not go for the money. I love what you do

[@JU-ki9wb]

Yes!! Agreed

[@funmilayoaina2658]

This was the video i never knew I needed

[@WholeElise]

Aww glad to hear it Funmilayo! 😊

[@swativerma0809]

This used too be the major issue most of the time, I'd decide for diys. M glad to come across your channel. Thanks for sharing these with us.

[@sunnijames2802]

Great info I'm a few dollars late. I've been collecting ingredients to make things that I need to use up quickly. Thx Elise

[@WholeElise]

Haha sorry about that - I'd been meaning to get this video out! 😅

[@DebsShipley1969]

You are an absolute angel. Thank you

[@Lady9tails]

Another wonderful video. This is how I used your website to decide what to buy last month. And I decide to work my way up to the things that contained water therefore needing preservatives. This way I can cut the costs and still learn what ingredients ie butters my skin likes best.

[@WholeElise]

That's a great approach to have! I can be overwhelming to your skin (and purse!) to introduce a much of new products into your regimen. Once you get more comfortable with preservatives, you can start to stretch out your butters and oils so there should be some savings in the future! Really glad to hear the site is useful 😊

[@vidhya84]

Love all ur videos. I plan on doing my own hair care products , watching ur videos. This video is useful

[@WholeElise]

Glad it's helpful 😊

[@caseyj1144]

You are such a perfect skin chemist 🙏 thank you

[@kristenmosher6753]

Wow...I hoped down a rabbit hole lol. My brian is a little overwhelmed.

[@kenneceshakiavon7419]

Keep the posts coming Elise!!! I love your channel and blog!

[@WholeElise]

Aww I'm so glad, thanks Kara!

[@film9491]

That calculator is 🔥

[@FlorenceDufailly]

Thank you so much! This was so helpful

[@ashleymyers834]

Thank you so so much! 😭😭❤️ You are truly amazing!!

[@WholeElise]

Aww happy to help! 😊

[@allisonweekes7708]

Thank Eluse for putting it in ounces for us USA folks. I just got a scale. Lol

[@WholeElise]

Aww of course!

[@allisonweekes7708]

Let me tell I've sent u videos out sistah!! Wicked info!! The scale was cheap.

[@mie-ruku1565]

How did you learn that much about ingredients and how they work together? I also want to get into the chemistry type of diy skincare and make products by myself :) I would really appreciate a response! love your videos, they are so helpful xx

[@eldaaga1851]

Can you sell this product are they certified?

[@heidicroucher]

Omg! Am I missing something? You didn't post yesterday! 😲

[@fatsnowdog4173]

Im not sure where to go in person to find all these ingredients and online they sell in bigger quantities which costs more obviously 😭

[@Debble]

The amount of charity you do this way is amazing! Thank you?

[@WholeElise]

Aww that's great hear! I was hoping all the information wasn't overwhelming but I did want this to be a step by step guide that you could refer back to. Thanks for letting me know 💚

[@michellew4737]

Thanks, for another informative video, Elise. 💛 I must admit I am a product junkie. I need to stick to a budget. 😆 I have so many oils, butters, clays, and Ayurvedic herbs. I buy almost all of my product ingredients in bulk. You save money buying in bulk.

[@WholeElise]

Haha absolutely! Once you find your favourite oils & butters, buying in bulk is definitely the way forward 👍🏾

[@farrahc7055]

Welcome back Elise, hope you enjoyed your break. 11.4.2021

[@ciel599]

Amazing

[@aprilfraize2168]

I love watching your tutorials! Can you make a face serum? I'm sure people with aging dry skin would love that! 😊

[@danieallen5609]

Because of you I'm homeless 😂😉🤣, but my skin and hair look fabulous. I buy whatever the recipe calls for because they work so well. Love all of your recipes and tell my family and friends how awesome they are. I have been into African black soap and would like to know how I can use it in place of betaine, glucoside and water. Can it be done and should I just make it as a liquid and add it in place of all three?

[@WholeElise]

Haha I can't with you! It's not quite a one for one replacement - while surfactants and soaps are both cleansers it's like using an ingredient, versus using a product as your base. Instead of adapting that recipe, I'd probably follow one that already includes black soap in order to get the best results. Hope that helps 😊

[@danieallen5609]

@@WholeElise Oh I get it. That makes sense. Thank you so much!

[@dreawoo3119]

Thank you for converting things for your US cousins, we appreciate it! You are awesome

[@susanvinson7044]

Thank You! You are nothing short of Fabulous! I am a beginner and still learning. Do you have a list of foaming Surfactants?

[@thulanisando5221]

Hi Elise is it possible to have that template. Or where we can download that formula template. Anyway I love your work.

[@jasmineamin5360]

[@MSTAMRO_Organic_Skincare]

Elise ❤️❤️❤️Love your videos so much. You are so gorgeous, calming, professional ❤️❤️❤️

[@WholeElise]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@viviankakanku9626]

Hello how are you? I am trying to make some natural oils but i don't know how to keep them without them getting bad?

[@SeventhHouseandOak]

Hi, Elise! I absolutely love your channel! Your videos and informative and beautifully done! You are also lovely and soothing to watch! I’m always so impressed! I’m super jealous of your figure! I believe you said that you were vegan(?). Would you mind sharing more recipe or lifestyle videos with us? You are such an inspiration!

[@WholeElise]

That's so sweet of you Tara. Yes I am plant based but unfortunately, I don't really share recipes - cooking videos are so much work but there are some great channels out there! 😅 Thanks for all the support!

[@justjillyo]

This is amazing!!!! Thank you so much. I'm on a fixed income but am so intrigued by your recipes. I also have a coconut allergy so good to know I can substitute without losing the benefits!

[@WholeElise]

Hi Jill, absolutely! As a general rule of thumb you can substitute "like for like" so oils with oils and butters with butters. Each ingredient has unique benefits so they will vary but the recipe should still work unless stated otherwise 💚

[@justjillyo]

@@WholeElise totally awesome! I have been catching up on your past videos, feeling inspired to get started!

[@specialfamily4001]

Hi is it possible to make lotion using curd or yogurt pls reply

[@chantalgibbs678]

[@anub200213]

I would love for you to do an SPF face cream for the day time if possible ❤️❤️❤️

[@JustSophiaL]

I love your videos and have made so so many great products as I result. I was thinking of using AHA and a hydrosol to make some kind of facial toner, but don’t want to mess up and cause a reaction on my skin. Do you happen to have a toner recipe you are able to share with us?

[@WholeElise]

That's great to hear Sophia! I'm sure I've got a recipe or two up my sleeve - thanks for watching 😊

[@exposingdemons7772]

Lawd….. thank you girl I really appreciate this video & all your videos ❕💕

[@Evangelist.Elizabeth]

This is exactly I need !! I also make my own products too and this video was very helpful

[@deeptikrishna204]

I came across your channel a few weeks ago, have watched most of your videos and loved them all. I didn't have most products on hand and when I went online to look for the ingredients, I ended up filling up my cart with a whole bunch of ingredients which the different recipes called for but a part of me kept prodding me to not buy and first, rather optimize what I really needed to buy. This video is exactly what I needed at this point, thank you so much !❤️

[@WholeElise]

Well done you for making the right call! Honestly even I tempted to overload on ingredients when I'm thinking of making new products - but it's always better to start simple and slowly build up your stash for when you know that you'll use them! I'm so glad this was helpful 😊

[@ammorales1524]

Awexsome! Question please: Can I add essential oil to this recipe? Or another option of adding the EO in the end product? Thank you, Elise!

[@Debble]

Great video and idea to share!

[@WholeElise]

I'm so glad! Thanks 😊

[@allisonweekes7708]

I have a question if btms25 has acetayl alcohol, why do u add it again. I bought emulsifying wax from camden grey. When i read the description it said it was aceatayl alcohol.

[@joyphilips8300]

Thank you so much for this video but I will also like you to make a video like this for hair growth DIY’s

[@limegreenlotus]

Wow this is what I needed!! Lol I would spend so much money on DIY that I had stopped making products. Very helpful, by chance also can you tell me where you got your beaker set? Thanks for sharing all that you do.

[@80sGal88]

Thank you so much for your video! You are an inspiration😌Just for clarity, if you want to make a 2-3 month supply, you adjust the quantity to 200-300 next to the total weight box right?

[@thedaughterofgod815]

Hello!! Thanks for this vidéo!! Can you show us how to make a Hair Mousse for all hair types please?
